Men demonized women as "witches" when really they were just the first brewers. They were called "alewives," as they brewed beer first for their families, then made money selling it. They were also herbalists, healers. Men felt threatened and invented "witches" to then take over brewing themselves

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.
He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

As the wheels keep coming off the MAGA project there will be a political vacuum, don't let libs fill it out of convenience through the prebuilt rhythms of elections and politics, Dems have been a crucial part of MAGA and will make the changes permanent.

Clinton had promised that the chatbot would only come when called—not actively read messages outside of its restricted channel. Later, the bot attempted to get chummy with a user after it answered one of their questions.
